Paul Ryan falsely was accused today by left-wing bloggers, most
notably Matthew Yglesias (formerly of Think Progress now of Slate),
of insider trading based on confidential information provided by
the Treasury Secretary to Congress on September 18, 2008. That day,
Ryan traded Citigroup stock. The accusation fell apart when someone
noticed that the…

to the rest of the country, from the only state which still
celebrates it. We’ve change the name to disguise the purpose of the
day. Because disclosing the Victory we are commemorating would be
so incorrect. It’s like everyone gets a trophy day. Anyway, for
those of you who missed it on July…

There seems to be an unusual lack of clarity here, as Ed Morrissey
notes in a post earlier this afternoon. Various news reports
indicate Palin will not be giving a speech, but it’s unclear if she
was not invited to speak, given such a poor time slot that she
didn’t want it,…

CNN host and Time magazine contributor Fareed Zakaria has been
suspended by both outlets after Newsbusters reported Friday he had
plagiarized a column. It was Cam Edwards of NRA News who first
noticed the irregularity; he then tipped off Tim Graham at
Newsbusters. Tim Graham of Newsbusters reports: When CNN host
and Time editor-at-large Fareed Zakaria…

What the hell was the Presidential Commission on Debates thinking?
I realize it is hard to find any MSM person who is neutral much
less perceived as neutral, but really … this person will moderate
one of three presidential debates? She claimed to be reciting what
unnamed Republicans were saying privately, but that’s…

There is no more misleading imagery than the ad run by Democrats in
which a Paul Ryan-looking figure throws Granny off a cliff due to
Medicare cuts: The ad has it exactly opposite to reality.
Republican proposals would keep Medicare the same for people
already in the system or 10 years away from…

Anne is at the Romney-Ryan rally in Waukesha. She says the
crowd is so large they had to move the rally from indoors to
outdoors to accommodate all the people. We’re still trying to
confirm the crowd size estimate. (Campaign says 10,000, which
is similar to what Anne was told.) Apparently three protesters…

Muslim Brotherhood member President Mohamed Morsi has sacked
the senior Egyptian military command, the primary secular
counterweight to Islamist fundamentalist control of Egypt. As
reported by The Times of Israel: Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi
fired Defense Minister Mohammed Hussein Tantawi and Chief of Staff
Sami Anan on Sunday afternoon, forcing them into retirement, and
canceled…

Let this be a lesson for The Eeyores Among Us From reader Tim who
is at the Romney-Ryan appearance in High Point, North Carolina:
Going into the doors. Holy moly I can’t believe the people. One
picture is the front of the line, one picture kinda the back,
EXCEPT my camera can’t capture two…

The Choice Election. That seems to be the consensus emerging about
how the Ryan pick changes the race. Democrats claim to be ecstatic
about it — it seems to me they are trying much too hard to
convince themselves and demoralize us. There are few if any
dissenting voices on that side of…

Elizabeth Warren’s daughter Amelia Warren Tyagi runs
ACORN-successor Demos, which has promoted her mother’s political
ambitions for years. No surprise when Demos filed suit in May
against Massachusetts, and then the Democrats who run the state
promptly capitulated and agreed to unprecedented efforts to
register welfare voters far and beyond what the…

More motivated than ever. It might have been that way regardless of
the Veep pick, but the immediate attempt by the mainstream media
and liberal magazines and newspapers to Palinize Paul Ryan brought
back bitter memories of the type which motivated me for the 2010
elections. It’s okay to want to…

Well, that didn’t take long. When it became clear that Paul Ryan
would be the Veep nominee this morning, the New York State
Immigrant Action Center posted what might be the first race card
play against Ryan as Veep nominee, accusing him of using the
allegedly racist term “anchor babies”: Paul Ryan has…
